Paperback £6.99



This is the story of hopes and aspirations that never materialised: Of wasted talents and lost loves: Of a complex but ordinary man getting through life as best he can and stumbling on the way. Of a life much like our own, but more so …

“Life wasn’t easy to start with, but then it just got worse and went steadily downhill from there, leaving me punch-drunk and wondering what happened and why.”

“Suddenly I found that my hair had gone, my few remaining teeth looked like tombstones in a graveyard, my memory was sporadically AWOL, I had more chins than a Chinese telephone directory, my torso resembled a burst mattress and my libido had packed its bag and done a runner without so much as a by your leave.”

”My life has been like juggling soot – damned difficult and pretty darn messy.”

It’s all here – humour, nostalgia and pathos in a hilarious and brutally honest account of a life unfulfilled, with the reminiscences of the good, the bad and the downright ugly that formed the innocent boy of yesteryear into the man he is today.
